The New York Times characterizes
President CieVeland's recent letter to
the New York City Democracy on
behalf of the ticket, including EEL
lows, as "impertinent." This, for q
Cleveland paper, is not putting the
matter mildly. and yet the common
sense Of the people will say that the
letter was more and worse than inn
pertinent. 1t was silly and unbe-
coming, and a STOPPING for support
in the Presidential contest next year
that shows the President is man of
common clay after all, and that his
airs of independence in regard to a
denomination are simply mask to
disguise very ardent desire and
purpose to that end. The President
OF the United States, much as we
may regret it, is considerable of a
ward politician after all.

Bombs in Anarchists Cells.

CHICAGO, Nov. 7.-Great excite
ment exists in this city over the dis
covery Yesterday by the police of six
dynamite bombs in the cells of the
condemned Anarchists, now in the
county Jail here.
Some time ago Sheriff Matson de-
cided to search and clean out the cells
of the seven distinguished prisoners,
and yesterday was set for the exami-
nation, Word was sent by the sher-
if to the friends of the condemned
saying that no admittance would be
given to the Jail, and this morning
the entire force of deputy sheriffs re.
ported at the Jail for duty. 1t was
shortly after 9:10 O'Clock when Lingg
and Engel were led from their cells
TO the consultation cage and the
search began.
Engel's cell was first entered and
examined. The bed and bedding
were looked over, cracks in the walls
and table thoroughly explored and
the clothing hanging around the cell
searched, but beyond few empty
cigar boxes some fruit, books and pa
pers, nothing was found. Then the
deputy sheriffs entered Lingg's cell,
while its former occupant planted
himself in a corner of his temporary
cell and watched them with eager
eyes.
Suddenly two of the three men
inside jumped out to the corridor,
while a third man held at arms
length small wooden box, which he
carefully carried to the Jail Office and
laid on Jailer FOLKS desk. The box
contained six pieces of gas pipe, each
about six or seven inches in length,
filled with some heavy substance and
plugged at both ends.
Jailer Folz picked up one which

pronounced it a veritable dynamite

dangerous weapons be replaced in the
box and sent to chemist for analy-
sis, although there was no doubt as
to the result of the examination, The
search was continued, but beyond a
quantity of rubbish nothing was
found.
Then the cells of Fischer, Parsons,
Spies, Schwab and Fielder were
searched in the order named, but no
contraband articles of any kind were
found. 1t was decided, however,
that it was best to change the cells.
All the prisoners except Lingg SUBJ
mitted to the change and search
without displaying the slightest emo

when he was told of what was con-
templated, and showed so plainly
that something was wrong that the
jailers were not so greatly surprised
as they might have been over the
discovery subsequently, made.

Review of Trade.

New YORK, Noy. 3.-R. G. Dun
& Co. in their weekly review of trade
says; Notwithstanding the slow col
lections in many quarters and some
failures of unpleasant significance,
the prevalent feeling is that the most
serious points of danger have been
weathered, and that trade and indus
tries have been warned in season to
check unsafe expansion. The volume
of business continues large, whether
judged by reports from many centres
by bank exchanges outside of New
York (which exceed last years by
about Is per cent? or by railroad ton.

about IL per cent over last year in

FREMONT & BUTLER r. r.

Our people are feeling good over the pros
poets of securing the Fremont, Bowling
Green & Butler railroad. 1t is now stated
upon good authority that Cleveland capital
lists and business men have taken hold of the
matter and will assist the towns along the
line to build and complete the road.
In this the Cleveland parties are wise, as it
opens up to them section of country that
they have heretofore been unable to reach.
Thousands and thousands of dollars go from
this place and vicinity to Toledo annually
which would go to Cleveland if we were in
direct communication with that city. The
Cleveland parties know this, and wishing to
get the large amount of trade going from
this place they have taken an interest in help
ing us to secure the road.
Quite umber of popular and influential
citizens from that city have been here recent
ly in the interest of the road and are more
than anxious to have it completed. They are
now at work in arranging matters to have
the work begin at once, and Judging from the
men who are interested in it, we predict that
the toot of the whistle on the Fremont, Bowl
ing Green & Butler, R. R. will be heard in
the land before the robbins leave for their
winter quarters.-BowIing Green NelcS.

The Paint Trade.

The paint and oil trade in Napoleon has
got to be big thing, Judging from the
tons and tons which are annually sold at
Saur's Drug and Paint Store, we should
think that that business alone would be suffi-
cient to make handsome income in the way
of profits; although we know that Saur buys
his goods very chep; We know too, that he
sells at small margins which enables him to
get good share of the trade from all the
best and closest buyers. He buys the very
best goods the market affords, just such
goods as he can recommend and guarantee
to the people to give satisfaction. He car
ries probably as large a stock and as great a
variety as any house in Northwestern Ohio,
SO that any one may be almost sure to get
anything and everything at this house in the
line of oils and paints which can be found at
any one store and at prices just as low and
oftentimes lower than the same goods can
be purchased anywhere else in the world.

field & Coldwater r. r. will be
Built.
DIR. Murbach, who has been securing the
transfers of the NJ. & S. stock, has received
reliable information that if the company,
who are trying to secure the stock, can get
control of the road they will build it. The
road has been in the hands of the Pennsylva-
MIA company whose purpose it was to never
have the road built as its traffic would injure
the road which they control. Can enough of
the stock be secured, i. e. 81 per cent to en-
able the company to control it. If the stock
can be secured we have the promise of the
company that the road will be built. If it
cannot be secured then the company will
have nothing to do with it and the stockhold-
ers are liable to assessments. Archbold has
during the past week been visited by quiet
and modest looking strangers, one of whom
made the assertion, and offered to back it up
with money, that inside of Is months the
road will be built. All along the line of the
road we hear the newspapers shouting "The
Mansfield & Coldwater will be built" and
we hope it will.-Archbold Herald.
